Objective To analyze the impact of medical insurance reimbursement mechanism on the income of urban community health centers run by various entities. Methods The data of the baseline survey of community health centers in 28 cities made in 2007 were called into play. These data were used to compare the percentage of the annual medical insurance income from outpatient clinics of three types of community health centers in their gross annual income and their annual outpatient clinic income. Results For 929 community health centers with income from medical insurance reimbursement, the average percentage of their annual income from outpatient clinic accounts for 24% of their gross annual income and 26. 09% of their annual outpatient income;In respect of the reimbursement rates of medical insurance at outpatient clinics, the highest come from those run by enterprises, secondly those by the government,and the least those run by social organizations or individuals. Conclusion The mechanism of medical insurance reimbursement has already affected the income of the third type of community health centers. It is recommended to raise the coverage rate of medical insurance of such type of centers and their reimbursement rates of medical insurance. This may further consolidate the policies of medical insurance reimbursement.

The objective of this study was to examine the inpatient bed (IB) allocation equity and utilization in Chinese city community health service centers (CHSCs). The data were derived from the Baseline Survey of National City Community Health Service System Building Project, which was conducted in 1917 CHSCs in 28 cities in 2007. The IB allocation was analyzed in terms of IB allocation quantity and distribution equity, and the IB utilization was analyzed by the IB utilization rate and average length of stay of the CHSC inpatients. The results showed that 49.3% of the CHSCs were equipped with IB; averagely, there were 45 IBs per CHSC, 0.94 IBs per 1000 people, and 0.38 nurses and 0.57 doctors per IB; the IB Gini coefficient was 0.32; the IB utilization rate was 40.06%; and the average length of stay of inpatients was 12.24 days. The conclusions were that IB allocation among the population was equitable, but the number of nurse per IB was not up to the national standard; and the CHSC IB utilization was low as a whole, thus inpatient service was not the main health service for Chinese CHSCs.

Objective To explore the application of PBL in dermatology and venereology teaching. Method According to random principle, 120 students were divided into experimental group and control group (60 students per group). The experimental group received PBL, and the control group received tradi-tional teaching. The teaching contents included systemic lupus erythematosus, pemphigus, psoriasis, syphilis. The course needed 16 periods totally . the traditional teaching group applied 8 classes extensive class teaching and 8 classes clinical trainee, and the PBL teaching group implemented case-based teaching 4 hours each time. Teaching satisfaction evaluation and test scores would be analyzed at the end of the semester. SPSS 17.0 was used for t test. Results The teaching satisfaction (contains professional values and ethics, communication skills, clinical skills, community health and health systems, information management, critical mind and research, etc.) of experimental group was higher than control group (P<0.05); The test scores of experimental group was higher than control group (P<0.05), especially in total score of theoretical examina-tion, comprehension and application. The difference mainly came from PBL teaching (P<0.05). Conclusion PBL is conductive not only to the comprehension and application of knowledge but to training the students' abilities of independent learning.

Objective:To prepare the egg yolk immunoglobulin Y ( IgY) against human Sucrase and study its stability,in vitro activity. Methods:Hy-line laying hens were immunized with human Sucrase protein,IgY was isolated and purified from egg yolks of im-munized hens using water dilution and salting out method. Indirect ELISA was used to evaluate the titer and stability of IgY. The purity and specificity of IgY were analysed by SDS-PAGE and Western blot respectively. The inhibitory effects of IgY on α-glucosidase was studied by PNPG method. Results:Indirect ELISA results showed IgY could be detected on the tenth day after the first immunization, and the peak titer of IgY was 1:12 800 after the 40th day of immunization. SDS-PAGE showed that the heavy chain and light chain of IgY were 65 kD and 25 kD respectively, and the IgY against human Sucrase could specifically recognize the protein of human Sucrase. The IgY maintained primary titer when it was kept between 29-69℃ for 15 min,and pH 4-7,37℃,4 h. The titer of IgY was maintained 50% after digestion by pepsin and trypsin respectively for 2 hours. IgY had a higher resistence to pepsin than trypsin after longer digestion time. IgY showed an inhibitory effect on α-glucosidase in concentration dependent manner. The half inhibitory concentration (IC50) was 0. 540 mg/ml. Conclusion:The IgY against human Sucrase has been successfully obtained,which established foundations for its study of Type 2 diabetes mellitus rat models in vivo.

Objective To investigate the distribution and drug resistance of pathogens in intensive care unit (ICU) so as to provide scientific basis for antibiotic adoption and the prevention and control of nosocomial infections. Methods The various specimens collected from the patients admitted into ICU in the First People's Hospital of Shunde Affiliated to the South Medical University from January 2007 to December 2014 were used to isolate the pathogens that might cause nosocomial infections and retrospectively analyze their clinical distribution and drug resistance. Kirby-Bauer paper diffusion and minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) methods were applied to test the drug sensitivity, and according to National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards/Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (NCCLS/CLSI) standard, the results were identified.Results The sputum was the major specimen source in ICU, accounting for 68.8%, followed by urine (12.4%) and blood (6.8%). All together 557 pathogens in ICU causing nosocomial infections were isolated of which there were 377 gram-negative (G-) bacilli (67.7%), 103 gram-positive (G+) cocci (18.5%), and 77 fungi (13.8%). Among G- bacilli, the top three wereAcinetobacter baumannii (34.5%), Klebsiella pneumonia (17.8%), andPseudomonas aeruginosa (13.0%). Beside carbapenem, the drug resistance rates of Acinetobacterbaumannii to other antibiotics were more than 40%. The main G+ coccus causing nosocomial infection wasSaphylococcus aureus (36.9%) in ICU. The drug resistance rates ofSaphylococcus aureus to penicillin, gentamicin and erythromycin were higher than 50%. In 77 fungus strains,Candida albicans was ranked the first, accounting for 41.6%.Conclusion The main infection site in ICU is primarily respiratory tract, the G- bacilli are the predominate pathogens, and the drug resistance to antibiotics found in this report is serious, so clinically, the antibiotics should be properly used to avoid the occurrence of pathogenic strain with drug tolerance.
